Phasing Out VS. Fading Out

BLESSINGS TO YOU TODAY!  
Tis Saturday and I couldn't be happier about it.  Had the luxury of sleeping in until I woke up on my own.  I slept a very long and peaceful sleep throughout the night.  No tossing or turning.  

A wonderful full night's sleep until I could sleep no more.  Rise and shine.  A precious gift to myself and my HUSBAND as I was staying out of his hair.

He worked at popping the Irises that will go along the fence this go round.  We had rain throughout the night so this morning the ground was muddy to work in.  He's making progress as the flowerbed full of Irises will be out of the middle of a yard section morphing along the fence.  I will LOVE the results.  Such work to get there.  After we moved to this present house, the Irises went where they are and we were happy to have them.  After two blooming seasons we can now relocate them to suit our fancy.


Along the fence.  SO traditional.  

He had to prep a flowerbed first which required digging in the heat of summer for hours.  SOmething even a young man should not do.

Not happy 'bout that so encouraged him to dig in the cool of the day.  Which isn't a very wide window of time meaning that the digging time is a little here and a little there.  He successfully got 'er done and now is completing phase two in which the rhizomes are dug up or popped.

SPRING 2019

If he can just stick with this until completed this project will have long lasting effects each time the flowers bloom.  Gorgeous variety of color to feast our eyes on in the SPRING for about 6 weeks.  42 days of beauty.  A dose of contentment for a nature lover.

Phase one: new flowerbed made and prepped.
Phase two: rhizomes dug up.
Phase three: rhizomes arranged and planted in circles of six rhizomes of like kind.
Phase four: previous flowerbed cleared out, emptied and rework the soil.
Phase five: new grass seeds planted in previous bed. 
Phase six:  RELIEF it's done.
Phase seven:  Wait and enjoy the blooms.




LAST NIGHT I ate a piece of DAVE's KILLER BREAD before I turned in for the night.  I did the same thing the night before.  Both mornings upon taking my BLOOD PRESSURE reading I had excellent numbers.  I couldn't believe it.  BLINK BLINK.  Shall do this again tonight to see if the numbers are spot on again.  
awesome.  a w e s o m e.  awesome.  
Perhaps my vitamins are kicking in and helping as well. 




When ones reading are too high and you finally have a great reading it's exciting.  

So now adays my social events are classified as going to a medical appointment and I get really excited over having a normal blood pressure reading.  SOunds lame doesn't it......but I'm alright with that.  Lame and alright.  To each his own.  

Do we sometimes not nourish our bodies the way they should be nourished?  Yes, I am so guilty.  So much dieting and cutting back I have done in hopes of thinning down.  I have no thyroid which is the MASTERMIND of metabolism and energy.  It is heck and oh so frustrating to be told to cut back and exercise to lose weight.  The standard medical doctor sometimes looks at you like you are over eating and not busy enough in the motion department.    

I have one of these doctors that will not acknowledge that hormones play a huge part in being able to lose weight.  HORMONES.  Being insulin resistant, lepid resistant, thyroid resistant and resistant resistant.  Keeping a proper attitude is in the works and is work to embrace.  

If I eat iceberg lettuce all the time instead of nutrient dense foods then I am depleting my body and not nourishing it with the nutrients needed.  Feeding the cells throughout the body is a must.  We are fearfully and wonderfully made aren't we.  Lord help.


Zeroing in on what to do is ongoing.  

Taking a quiet time break before moving forward for the day.  COFFEE has not happened so far.  Better get some.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
